ĮffortlessMath is an e-book designed to help students love math and improve their skills. 5 Top Math Websites for High Schoolers 1. Here are ten Top Math Websites for High Schoolers and Kids, divided into each level: A. In other words, the websites are practical tools that help the students improve their math skills more engagingly. More so, considering that teachers cannot offer that one-on-one experience to every student, these websites provide just the ideal supplement for classes. These websites feature interactive games, creative tips, videos, detailed answers, among many other resources that make the learning process much more fun. Math websites for high schoolers and kids are designed to help you not only learn math but also love the subject. And well, you cannot love something if it is not fun, right? Yet, for you to succeed in math, you need to do more than just study it you also need to love it. However, most students consider mathematics their least favorite subject. Therefore, if you are looking to better your future life, it is high time you improved your math grades. Also, your performance in math can greatly influence the career path you take in life. When filling in college applications, one of the key subjects evaluators look at is Math. + Ratio, Proportion & Percentages Puzzles. You can take an airboat ride across the swamplands, explore a city that's been overtaken by vegetation, head into the deadly chasm known as “The Crack,” and even venture through mutant-infested sewers and high-tech Authority labs. Many of these elements have evolved between games the Wingstick now has an enhanced tracking ability, and vehicles can be repaired and customized to a greater extent. Many elements return from the first RAGE, including Vehicle Combat, Wingsticks and Mutants. Wellspring returns and locales such as Oasis and Gunbarrel which are mentioned in the original game are introduced for the first time as playable locations. The adventure takes Walker to both familiar and unfamiliar locations and to a landscape wholly changed since the original Rage. Regrouping with Lily at Vineland's ruined entrance, the two come up with a plan to return Loosum Hagar, John Marshall and Anton Kvasir back into the fold of the project and gain vengeance for the loss of their home. Discovering a hologram of Prowley, Walker discovers he is the last living member of the Rangers of Vineland and is now tasked with bringing together the members of a group who can initiate Project Dagger, a plan designed to wipe out the Authority and General Cross once and for all. With the battle over and only twenty survivors of the city left alive, including walker and his close friend Lily, the two come up with the idea to have Walker enter Vineland's Ark and see if he can piece together any reason for why the Authority might have sought them out. As the combat rages on, through a breach in the wall it is revealed General Cross has survived the events of the first game and the Authority wars, albeit heavily augmented to the point where it appears his head is the only part of his body that is still organic.The General seems to remember Prowley, and along with the other first generation ark survivors, has her kidnapped for experimentation (likely to continue with mutant and nanotrite experiments first explored in the first game). Walker then takes Jerseys' armour and takes on the role of Ranger of Vineland himself.Ĭontinuing to aid in the defense, Walker finally links up with Ranger Prowley, his "aunt" and mentor, who is rallying the remnants of the cities defenders against the Authorities relentless onslaught. However before he can leap free of the Mutant, Jersey is clenched in the beasts fist, manages to throw a grenade into his opponents mouth and blowing the creatures head clean apart, unfortunately not before his own head was torn off in the mouth of his foe. All seems lost when a huge and unknown variant of mutant brings down the wall of the city and begins tearing its way through the defenders, however the famed Ranger Jersey arrives and promptly slams his motorbike into the beast before utilising his nanotrite abilities to get the upper hand in the combat. ![]() The Authority attack en masse with their mutants, crushing the defenders of Vineland. Walker's home gets stormed by the Authority who have returned from obscurity after their defeat by John Marshall and the Resistance of the first game alongside the newly emerged "Arkists". Some characters from the original RAGE also return, such as Antonin Kvasir, Loosum Hagar and John Marshall. After being robbed of his home and both his family and adoptive mother and mentor by the Authority, (the primary antagonists of the first game), Walker tears through the Wasteland to seek vengeance and to ultimately end the Authority's oppression. The player assumes the role of Walker, one of the last Rangers in the Wasteland. The Authority has returned, waging war against anyone who won't follow their rule. ![]() The brutal ways of the old world still remain, however, and these new, delicate biomes are under attack by gangs that want to control their resources. Trade is growing and a type of "Wild West" society is emerging. Humanity has found a way to heal the world, turning regions of the Wasteland into lush jungles, wetlands and even tundra. The game arcade is set in 2023, thirty years after the events of the first game arcade. But it should also offer high-enough brightness to give you a watchable image in daytime or with lights on at night. If your home theater is also your family room with blackout curtains in place (and you'll be using the same projector for both applications), the ideal model will have good color accuracy, high contrast, and other features you need for top image quality in a dark room. You'll still want to check to make sure color isn't obviously off, or at least not annoyingly off, but spot-on color accuracy isn't as critical for home entertainment uses as it is in a home theater space with controlled lighting. Note also that many projectors designed for home entertainment boost brightness at the expense of color accuracy. ![]() Room light tends to wash out black levels, which lowers contrast for any projector and hides differences between projectors that would be obvious in a dark room. On the other hand, contrast is less important. That means you need a brighter image, and therefore a brighter projector than with home theater for the picture to stand up to the light at any given image size. In all of these situations, you will usually be viewing in rooms (or backyards) where ambient light is a factor. "Home entertainment" in the projector world covers most home use that isn't home theater, including TV-replacement models, gaming projectors, room-to-room portables, and projectors used for backyard movies. Resolutions lower than 1080p are best reserved for other applications. The best home theater projectors today offer 4K (3,840-by-2,160-pixel) resolution and support for HDR (more on HDR later also), but for those on a budget, lots of 1080p projectors can still serve nicely. (More about brightness later.) The most important features to look for in specs and reviews include high contrast, good color accuracy, dark black levels, and good shadow detail. Projectors for home theater don't need particularly high brightness. That could be a dedicated home theater or a family room equipped with shutters or curtains that can block all window light when needed. It's more accurate, however, to reserve it for projector use in a room with completely controlled lighting. The term "home theater" is often used loosely to include home entertainment. Here's a brief look at the most common categories and subcategories of applications, and which features are most important for each. ![]() Home Projectors: Which Categories Matter?Īlthough projector categories change from one manufacturer to another and evolve over time, the application categories are consistent, if somewhat overlapping. The smart move is to not make assumptions based on the projector category, and to check out the individual projector's features, and comments in reviews, instead. That said, as a general rule, business projectors much above entry-level pricing for their resolution and brightness level can't compete on the basis of film and video image quality with similarly priced home theater or home entertainment models. That's why we discuss performance with film and video in all of our projector reviews. ![]() And because film and video are often needed in business presentations and classrooms, a business projector might handle film and video just as well as a so-called home entertainment model. Some manufacturers even include certain models on lists for both categories.īeyond that, any home projector that can handle film and video well can also handle text and presentations for business use. For portable models and some entry-level projectors, you'll often see little or no difference between them for how well they handle film and video. ![]() Home projectors and business models can overlap more than you might expect. You should take all of these divisions with a grain of salt, however. For business use, the common (and mostly interchangeable) names are business, education, and data projectors, which I'll refer to collectively as business projectors. Common names for models meant for home use include home cinema, home theater, pro cinema, home entertainment, gaming, streaming, and smart (which is usually just another name for streaming). Most projector manufacturers divide their projector lines into categories. What Are the Different Categories of Projectors, and What Do They Mean? Below is a look at our top picks for specific uses, followed by what you need to know to find the right one for the application or applications you have in mind. The point? You need to match your home projector's features to the applications you want it for.
Please visit the location page for hours of operation for each location. Each is, and all are, sufficient reasons for being there. Inside abounds the almost ethereal stuff of thought, of the body at-ease and the mind simply doing what its owner wants it to do.

Atlanta Bread Company It’s harder to find locations of this Atlanta franchise these days, but you can still enjoy their California Avocado sandwich (it’s just perfect) at the ATL airport in both Concourse A and Concourse B. Here the music, the aromas, the art, the sheer nature of the Café all represent the essence of the coffeehouse experience. ![]() As a respite in a person’s day, a place to stop, to relax, to think…as an “intermission ” between all of the activities and responsibilities, Olson believed that the Kaffeehaus would provide a distinct and wonderful refuge in the ever-expanding world of fast-food and environments designed to expedite takeout beverages and foods. The European coffeehouse represents the antithesis of food and drink in a hurry. Visiting a Konditorei in Berlin (bakery-Café), and then many more throughout Germany and Austria, brought conviction that the Europäische Kaffeehaus (European coffeehouse), as a significant Place in the lives of its guests, had a potential for a home in America. Update, May 22, 8:00 p.m.: This story has been updated with new information regarding the new restaurant and chef and with an official statement from Nemanja Filipovic on the closure of Dorian Gray.Café Intermezzo began as an idea in 1971, when Brian Olson traveled to his heritage homeland of Germany. Dorian Gray took over the former Yebo Beach Haus space on West Paces in December 2022. He claims the closure came down to “irreconcilable differences between partners from the day of opening,” and differences in the “vision” for the restaurant, and “a lot of disagreements with new property owner, who purchased the property in December last year.”Įater has yet to confirm whether the Dorian Gray employees were actually paid and is working to clarify this information.įurther reporting by the AJC states that Cambrice and her business partners plan to open a “sweet neighborhood restaurant with a high-quality concept” there and Dorian Gray chef Christian Evans is returning to lead the kitchen. Additional menu items include fresh and hot breakfast items plus flatbreads made to order. ![]() ![]() When reached for comment, Filipovic denied the allegations of mismanagement presented in the statement above, and of him not paying employees, calling it all ”absolutely false”. Arugula & Rye presents travelers a health-forward deli and salad bar. It’s unclear who the other owners are in the new restaurant with Cambrice, but the representative says they are “former associates” of Kvrgic and Filipovic in Dorian Gray, including Cambrice, and are no longer affiliated with the pair. One of those new owners is Janina Cambrice, the representative says. A new concept will open in the space in the coming weeks.” ![]() All product names and trademarks referred to in this website are the property of their respective owners. “The new owners have paid all previous employees in full.

Howdy ATL Biscuit Cafe, Atlanta, Georgia. One tip states that the restaurant’s employees recently walked out due to “nonpayment of wages.” A handful of reviews left by patrons of Dorian Gray on Yelp and Google over the last three weeks also cite staffing issues at the restaurant. Atlantas favorite Biscuit Cafe baking up tasty treats. Yebo Beach Haus relocated in 2020 a half mile northeast to Andrews Square, taking over the former Bar Americano and Bar Crema spaces at the East Andrews Drive complex.Įater received two anonymous tips indicating Dorian Gray closed without notice Monday, May 15. Opened by Bo Kvrgic and Nemanja Filipovic in December, Dorian Gray took over the former Yebo Beach Haus space, transforming it into a see-and-be-seen vibe with food and drinks channeling the south of France and coastal European cities all soundtracked by house music. Dorian Gray, the Buckhead restaurant named for the hedonistic main character from Oscar Wilde’s novel “A Picture of Dorian Gray”, suddenly closed last week after just five months. If you look at the Kickstarter pitch for ‘Stonehearth,’ it’s something like a ‘sandbox RTS, RPG, city-builder.’ Well, it turns out that’s actually a lot of different genres, and games, and as you work on a game, you get a better sense of what works and what doesn’t, and you have to change it to accommodate that.”Īs an example, Dee points to the blueprint’s original conception of character classes, which split them into two different types – passive, who pilot themselves according to occasional input, and active, who rely entirely on the player’s direct control, similar to a unit in a strategy game. ![]() ![]() We thought we could do it, but we found out later it was totally impossible. “It wasn’t until December of 2013, after months of development, that we realized, ‘Oh no.’ It was our first game. “We were definitely on the left side of that curve,” Dee said, laughing. She compares the experience to a graph of the Dunning-Kruger effect, a now-famous psychological phenomenon that states that those of humble ability have a tendency to severely overestimate their competence when compared to the average. Now, five years past that initial pitch, with active development on “Stonehearth” winding to a somewhat-unexpected halt, while Dee and her peers at Radiant Entertainment remain proud of the game that a half-decade of deep exertion wrung out, she said that making their dream game proved to be a lot more arduous than they expected. However, some of us are more primed for opportunity than others: in 2013, when Bay Area software engineer Stephanie Dee saw that a few acquaintances of hers were Kickstarting a hugely-ambitious simulation game called “ Stonehearth” that aimed to redefine the boundaries of the genre, she left behind a decade-long career in the cloud-computing sector to chase her lifelong dream of becoming a game developer. Unfortunately, once the euphoric rush of the initial breakthrough has passed, and the frantic note-taking and frenzied discussion of early days gives way to a thicket of seeming-insurmountable obstacles – usually an existing career, a lack of industry connections, or a complete dearth of programming knowledge – most of us shove our Great Ideas in a drawer someplace and let them gather dust as greater concerns colonize our time. ![]() Many people who play video games have a brief interval in their lives where they’re struck by a sudden jolt of inspiration, where they pinpoint a scrap of fertile land in an ever-tilled genre, and an idea for a hit game blooms. ![]() Here I rated the diversity of options so the user can find the perfect variant for their needs and the overall functionality for each plan. In this collection of font finders there are options for any budget: free sites, premium sites and the possibility of buying a PRO membership after trying a free trial period. ![]() It’s also cool when the font matches that the app gave me were really similar to the one I needed, as it may help designers pick an even better type for their projects. The rest of 10 ‘misses’ are usually caused by low quality images (low resolution, text distorted, etc). The system uses advanced AI to find the font in 90 of the cases. The huger and more diverse it is, the higher are the chances to find the exact type you were looking for. Upload a clean image of the text containing the font you need to identify. ![]() Option Two: Place font files in Windows/Fonts Folder. Option One: Select font files, then right-click to Install. Or you can drag and drop the files to some other location. The font library is a big part of the search success. Save the zip file, then double-click on zip which will open it. I also considered the time I spent searching and the easiness of the process. To change the font for a single paragraph or a phrase, select the text that you want. Some sites gave me the exact font I was looking for, which got them a solid 10, others gave me similar options and there were font finders who weren’t even close. In short, it allows users to completely change the content of their photos. That’s, obviously, the most important criterion for the font finder, as we came there to get the results. Google is adding generative artificial intelligence (AI) into its Photos app in a feature called Magic Editor.

![]() ![]() Although the couple are usually shown to have a comic relief relationship, she has genuine feelings for her husband and her fiery nature complements his casual attitude. Some games have a segment where she personally rescues her husband from capture. She supports her husband in his resistance against northern invaders, usually appearing in the game after he has been captured and released a number of times. In the Games: Zhu Rong is a daughter of a fire God (from whom she receives her identical name) and married to the Nanman king Meng Huo. Xiao Qiao is not mentioned again after her husband’s death. There are rumours in the historical records that some months after Sun Ce’s death, Da Qiao ran off with a Wei officer – Liu Xun. While Da Qiao and her husband had several daughters, it is unknown whether Zhou Yu’s children were by Xiao Qiao. Both men died young Sun Ce at 25 and Zhou Yu at 35, the former with his wife at his death bed. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both involved in the Wu conquest of Huan where they met an Elder Qiao who was known for his two beautiful daughters who they then married. ![]() Although collectively they are known as the Two Qiaos, the names ‘Da’ and ‘Xiao’ simply denote ‘elder’ and ‘younger’. In History: Historically, as with most of the women mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, very little is known about them, including their names. In some fiction they are both talented martial artists which bring them to the attention of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. In Fiction: Both women are said to be exceptionally beautiful and Cao Cao’s attraction to the younger sister, Xiao Qiao, is the dramatic reason given for his advance against Wu at the Battle of Red Cliff (Chi Bi in the games). Both are shown to adore their husbands, while their husbands are fiercely protective of them in return. Initially they were both portrayed as rather excitable due to their youth, though later editions of the game had Da Qiao mature, to distinguish her from her more headstrong sister. They are both shown to be completely loyal to their husbands and their participation in battles is usually to assist them in their missions. In the Games: In their first appearances, the games’ stories have the two Qiaos being rescued from varying antagonists by Wu’s Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who then marry them respectively. In this series I intend to look at the women presented in the Dynasty Warriors series, their role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and other fiction, and finally their place in history and what we actually know of them. ![]() But this does not relegate them to boring side notes in history, and many of those who participated in the events of the time obviously did so to the extent that they were noted for it, rather than disappearing from the record. They were, instead, integral in alliances and domestic affairs, as we might expect. It probably won’t surprise you (and if it does, it really shouldn’t) to learn that the women of the Three Kingdoms weren’t riding into battle, laying waste to their enemies with fans, whips and…flutes. Even though women at this time generally received much less coverage than men, especially during a time of war when men engaged in fighting while women acted as dynastic alliance makers and supporters, Dynasty Warriors does feature a number of playable female characters. The Three Kingdoms is noted for the sheer number of celebrated heroes who came to the forefront of history, many of whom appear as playable characters in the games. The Dynasty Warriors series first appeared in 1997 as a fighting game, but since then has become a tactical/action/hack ‘n’ slash with a number of spin off titles. The novel draws together history, legend, myth and fiction and is considered one of the most influential works of Eastern literature. Written by Luo Guanzhong in the fourteenth century, Romance of the Three Kingdoms documents and dramatises the Three Kingdoms period of China’s history, a period of just over a hundred years that saw the land ravaged by war as competing feudal lords fought for power. The not entirely historically accurate Dynasty Warriors series is based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Dynasty Warriors (and later Kessen 2) fostered a love of a period that I probably wouldn’t have been exposed to, otherwise. It is many years later and Sun Shang Xiang is still my go to character when I start a new game. They played the Yellow Turban Rebellion level, Sun Shang Xiang confronted them, and I fell in love. It was the last day of school, someone had brought in their brand spanking new Playstation 2 and knocked out a few rounds of Dynasty Warriors 2. I was eleven years old when I first saw Dynasty Warriors. ![]() However, the lifetime payment limits you from using the tool across various Apple devices.
